Kingsley. Meryl Streep was named best actress for her role as the tragic Polish survivor of a concentration camp in "Sophie's Choice." "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," the movie about a lovable creature from outer space that has become the all-time box office champion, finished second in the sweepstakes with four Oscars. Jessica Lange, as the vulnerable soap opera star in "Tootsie," and Louis Gossett Jr., as the tough but fair drill sergeant in "An Officer and a Gentleman," were best supporting actress and actor. "Gandhi" the epic biography of the apostle of non-violence who led India to independence, picked up six other Oscars, including the prize for best director to Richard Attenborough. It was the second year in a row that a British film won Hollywood's highest honor. Last year the best picture was the dark horse "Chariots of Fire." It was the second Oscar for Streep, who won the supporting award for "Kramer Vs. Kram- er" in 1979 Lange was also nominated for best actress in "Frances." Two other actresses have been doubly nominated Fay Bainter and Teresa Wright, and both won in the supporting cat egory. In her speech, she thanked "Dustin Hof fman, as my leading lady," referring to his role as an out-of-work actor who dresses as a woman to win a job. "All you other four guys, this is ours," Gossett told the losing nominees in his catego ry as he_accepted the prize. He was only the third black performer to win an' Oscar following Hattie McDaniel for "Gone With the Wind" in 1939 and Sidney Poitier for "Lilies of the Field" in 1963. "E.T," picked up awards for original score by John Williams, visual effects, sounds ef fects and sound. "Gandhi," captured awards for best origi nal screenplay, best costume design, art di rection, cinematography and film editing in the nationally televised ceremony from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Best adapted screenplay was "Missing" by Costa-Gavras and Donald Stewart. "Up Where We Belong" from "An Officer and a Gentleman," was named best song. It has music by Jack Nitzsche and Buffy Saint- Marie and lyrics by Will Jennings. Mickey Rooney received an honorary Oscar in recognition of his long career as child star, song-and-dance man and dramatic actor. "This award is for 60 years of work, they tell me," Rooney said. "It's really only for . . . fun, for joy." The award for documentary short subject went to the controversial "If You Love This Planet" by the National Film Board of Cana da. Last month, the Justice Department la beled the anti-nuclear film and two others made in Canada as propaganda. In accepting the award, producer Terri Nash said wryly, "For, their tremendous effort in promoting this film, I'd like to thank the U.S. Department of Justice:: "Volver a Empezar (To Begin Again)," a Spanish movie about a writer exiled during the Franco era who returns home, was named best foreign film. The telecast hit a snag when Charlton Hes ton introduced film of the late Jean Hersholt prior to presentation of the Humanitarian award in his name. No film. After an embar rassing stage wait, Heston shrugged, "Never mind," adding, "If you come to my house, I'll show you the film."

Millions of dollars hung on what would emerge from the envelopes on the pavilion stage. That was underscored last year by the upset victory of "Chariots pf Fire" as best picture. Prior to the award, the British-made film about runners in the 1924 Olympic Games enjoyed good, but not exceptional, business. Industry sources estimated that $4O million worth of tickets were sold because of the Oscar. Careers could also be affected. After her victory as best actress for the 1979 movie, "Norma Rae," Sally Field was able to triple her salary to $1 million a film.

(AP) The Argonne National Laboratory of Chicago is conducting a year-long study into the effects of radium exposure on the 1,500 former employees of Bloomsburg's U.S. Radium Corp. plant. "This is the biggest group of workers we've been able to test," said James H. Stebbings, an Argonne epidemiologist who is supervising the testing of the people once employed as glow-in-the dark clock- and watch-dial factory workers. Stebbings said preliminary results showed nothing unusual so far, but some of the former workers said that just being singled out for the study prompted immediate concern. Lila Travis of Bloomsburg, an 18-year U.S. Radium employee, said she has suffered four heart attacks, and at age 61 wonders if her old job caused them. "Any of them could have been caused by that. I'll probably never know," she said. nation news briefs Congressman denies drunken driving CLEVELAND (AP) Rep. Louis B. Stokes, chairman of the House Ethics Committee, yesterday denied he was drunk when stopped by Maryland police for an alleged traffic violation, and blamed the allegation on racism. "I have been patently aware that I am a black man in a predominately white society," the Ohio Democrat said at a news conference at a Baptist church. "I always knew that someday racism and bigotry in the media would raise its ugly head against me." Stokes was stopped by police in the Washington suburb of Montgomery County, Md., early March 25. He said he was tired after working for 18 1 ,'2 hours and told police who stopped him he had not been drinking. Stokes said he took three sobriety tests: reciting the alphabet, walking a straight line and touching his forefinger to his nose with his head tilted backward. He said he believed he passed the tests. But Montgomery County police spokesman Phillip Caswell said yesterday that Stokes failed all three tests. world news briefs New fighting reported in El Salvador SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) Leftist guerrillas burned the vehicles of drivers who tried to sneak through roadblocks yesterday and there was new fighting reported east of the capital.
